The content of the installed_rpm file must look exactly like this: setup-2.0.5-1 filesystem-1.3.5-1 basesys tem-6.0-4 ldconfig-1.9.5-15 glibc-2.1.2-11 shadow-utils-19990827-2 mktemp-1.5-1 termcap-9.12.6-15 libtermcap-2.0.8-18 bash-1.14.7-16 MAKEDEV-2.5-2 SysVinit-2.77-2 chkconfig-1.0.7-2 ncurses -4.2-25 info-3.12h-2 fileutils-4.0-8 grep-2.3-2 ash-0.2-18 at-3.1.7-11 m4-1.4-12 bdflush-1.5-10 binutils-2.9.1.0.23-6 bzip2-0.9.5c-1 sed-3.02-4 console-tools-19990302-17 e2fsprogs -1.15-3 byacc-1.9-11 cpio-2.4.2-13 cracklib-2.7-5 cracklib-dicts-2.7-5 crontabs-1.7-7 textutils-2.0-2 dev-2.7.10-2 diffutils-2.7-16 dump-0.4b4-11 ed-0.2-12 bison-1.28-1 etcskel-2.0-1 file-3.27-3 findutils-4.1-32 gawk-3.0.4-1 cdecl-2.5-9 gdbm-1.8.0-2 autoconf-2.13-5 glib-1.2.5-1 gmp-2.0.2-10 cpp-1.1.2-24 gpm-1.17.9-3 groff-1.11a-9 gzip-1.2.4-14 initscripts-4.48-1 ipchains-1.3.9-3 cproto-4.6-2 ElectricFence-2.1-1 kernel-2.2.12-20 patch-2.5-9 ld.so-1.9.5-11 less-340-1 libc-5.3.12-31 libstdc++-2.9.0-24 lilo-0.21-10 pwdb-0.60-1 pam-0.68-7 sh-utils-2.0-1 automake-1.4-5 logrotate-3.3-1 losetup-2.9u-4 lsof-4.45-1 mailx-8.1.1-9 man-1.5g-6 mingetty-0.9.4-10 mkbootdisk-1.2.2-1 mkinitrd-2.3-1 modutils -2.1.121-14 mount-2.9u-4 ctags-3.2-1 ncompress-4.2.4-14 net-tools-1.53-1 netkit-base-0.10-37 newt-0.50-13 passwd-0.63-1 perl-5.00503-6 flex-2.5.4a-7 procps-2.0.4-2 psmisc-18-3 python-1.5.2-7 quota-1.66-8 gdb-4.18-4 readline-2.2.1-5 glibc-devel-2.1.2-11 rootfiles-5.2-5 rpm-3.0.3-2 sash-3.3-1 make-3.77-6 shapecfg-2.2.12-2 slang-1.2.2-4 slocate-2.0-3 stat-1.5-11 sysklogd-1.3.31-12 tar-1.13.11-1 tcp_wrappers-7.6-9 tcpdump-3.4-16 tcsh-6.08.00-6 time-1.7-9 timed-0.10-23 tmpwatch-2.0-1 traceroute-1.4a5-16 utempter-0.5.1-2 util-linux-2.9w-24 vim-common-5.4-2 vim-minimal-5.4-2 vixie-cron-3.0.1-39 which-2.8-1 zlib-1.1.3-5 dev86-0.14.9-1 egcs-1.1.2-24 kernel-headers-2.2.12-20 This second step is require to be sure we have not forget to remove some unnecessary RPM’s packages and don’t forget to add some important packages that permits us to compile program on the system. If the result looks as our  installed_rpm file above, we are ready to play with our new Linux server.
